Musuem!!!

We went to the FW Museum a couple of weeks ago with Bobbis. It was crazy crowded, making it a little hard to keep up with our crew of six, but they were all very good and stayed nice and close together, just the way we like it!
We started off in the hospital ward and Tessa got right to work taking care of the babies.
Grant, the ultimate big cousin, helped Miles commandeer the ambulance!


Claire's turn to take the lead. She and Laney were testing out the different colored panels used to diffuse light in this window room.
Miles's turn to check out the windows!
Bobbis and some of her brood!
The brothers moved on to the train tables and got to work engineering some tracks.
All the big kids put their construction vests on and started building some spectacular towers!



Outside to play with the water stuff. I LOVE watching all our kids play together like this. This summer has been such a blessing to me and my children. We could not ask for more than these precious days with our cousins!!!!
Miles and Tessa are such twinkies!
Sam commissioned himself to do a very important job involving this blocks.
Then something came along and stole all that joy and gave us this pouty face. We see this face all the time! Usually it is coupled with a very expressive, "UH-HUH!" Example: "Sam is your milk all gone?" He responds with the most dramatic poochie lip and "uh-huh" that you can imagine. He knows how to work it, this one!
Miles was busy with his fleet.


Back inside so that Bobbis could demonstrate her stellar hula-hooping skills. I can not hula hoop at all, so I am hoping that this is a gene that skips a generation, so that my children have a chance at the blue ribbon at their future Field Days!!!!

Bowling!!!

Aunt Cait takes care of our cousins on Tuesdays, so we usually get to spend the day with her too!!! Last week, she took the big kids to the movies in the morning. They they all came over to lunch at our house. When the boys went down for a nap, Cait took everyone else bowling! She is a pretty ultimate aunt!!!
They had such a fun time with her!

Laney and Tess played doubles!




Going solo~
Claire wastes no opportunity to practice her gymnastics skills.
And Laney loves to do what Claire does.










This picture is a little crazy, but Cait told me that the kids love to climb through these "tunnels" the whole time they are at the bowling alley.
Our cute girls!

I think that this was Claire's sweatband for the day. I saw it serving in multiple accessorizing capacities that day. Belt, Necklace, Headband.....options were limitless!!!!

Boy Cousins!

The brothers have loved getting to spend time with their Big Cousin, Grant. He is so good with them. He calls them, Sammy Wammy and Miles-y Wiles-y. He loves to make them smile and he loves how much they love him. They follow him around everywhere!!!



Poochy Lip!

This is Sam's latest expression! He uses it often and I have to admit, it is hard to resist!

Let's Go!!!

The boys woke up from their nap last Saturday with an itch to get moving. They joined hands and started walking back and forth across the living room saying, "Let's Go!!!" Pretty cute brothers. Not sure where they wanted to go, but they definitely wanted to go there together!
